The Federalist (5-9-03)

"It is not widely known, but in time it will be widely known, the length to which the French government went to frustrate the U.S. initiative in the Mideast. It was not merely a matter of threatening a veto in the United Nations. The French... went so far as to share intelligence with Iraqi agents, giving them data useful in frustrating the American advance. ...[T]he French government was willing to put all of its resources into frustrating the U.S. diplomatic, and subsequently military, offensive."

-William F. Buckley, Jr.

"People hate to admit this but it was Bill Clinton and the Democrats in 1993, without one Republican vote, who actually did deficit reduction. We not only balanced the budget but we paid down the debt. Now we've turned that around and we have deficits just like Ronald Reagan, as far as the eye can see."

--John "Ketchup" Kerry on the economic expansion Clinton inherited from Bush(41) and the recession (and ignored terrorist threat) Bush(43) inherited from Clinton. He conveniently forgot to mention the 1994 Republican takeover in the House, and the reins they placed on the budget.
